To connect two computers – Windows

Okay, so why write about it? Well, there was a time I needed to combine the know-how to connect two computers together and I found no article for me and the links on the Internet that it did in detail, then this is for the people's experience could be the same.

So let's begin!

First you need to know how to go exactly your two PC to get in touch. So here it is. The computer connects directly to each other so no hub is required. For thosethat are not connected, a hub is simply a device to the computer over a network using UTP STRAIGHT THROUGH.

The reason why I wrote in capsules is straight, because this is not what you intend to use, it will connect two computers together. Instead, with cross-over cable. You can save them from a local computer to a relatively low cost. Or, if you want to do the job then make it the very simple. If you need help, then do a Google search, as youCrossover cable will be of great help. The reason why I can not tell you how you, not because I tell you how to connect two computers together to create a crossover.

Anyway, that all the requirements you need is just a crossover cable. (Please note, if you buy, or a cross-over, make sure there is at least Cat5e UTP cable.)

Now that we've got that off the road, we go to work!

Step 1

On each computer, right-click on My Computer. "Click Properties and then click"Computer Name" to. Where it says: "Computer Description:" Give each computer a description, which should not (be identical). Now click on "change" so that you can change the computer name and workgroup. Optional name, returning the same name you gave him for his description and job, enter "My first goal" (remember the name of the computer must not be the same, but the name of the working group should be exactly the same onboth)
Be ', if you change this, you will be prompted to restart your computer, simply click Yes or OK, who are always with you will be asked to do so.

Step 2

After restarting the computer, you must configure IP addresses for each computer. This is the following:

On the desktop, locate the icon "My Network Places". Now you dpouble to open it.

Once the map open view on the left to select an option, see "Network Connections" and click on it.

NowRight-click Local Area Network and select Properties.

Where it says: "The connection uses the following items:", scroll to iternet Protocol (TCP / IP) ", click it and click the Properties button.

Now click on "Use the following IP address" and "IP address", enter an IP address as 192.168.0.1.

Although do the same for both computers, you need different IP addresses, so you have the second computer's IP address is 192.168.0.2

AfterIP addresses only the Tab key and you should get a number of subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then press OK and wait for a bit 'and now almost over!

Step 3

This is the easiest part, just to bring cross-over cable and connect to any computer network RJ45 connector. That's it for now be able to find the computer in "My Network Places". You can start sharing files!
